Hi bloggers today i am coming with a sweet recipe i.e madatha kaja.This is one of the famous sweet items from andhra.My mom is a terrific cook and she prepares everything from snacks , tiffin, biryani, fried rice, desserts and sweets.I learned this recipe from my mom after my marriage. I tried this once and it came very good.My husband loves this sweet very much.

This recipe i am using rice cooker cup.
Ingredients-:

Maida flour-1 cup
baking soda-1/2 tsp

rice flour-2 tbsp

Ghee-4 to 5 tbsp

Water-1/2 cup for dough (or little less)

Sugar-1 1/2 cups

Water-1/4cup (for syrup)

1.Take a cup of all purpose flour.

2.mix it with ghee,baking soda and water and make a dough.

3.Cover it with plate and keep it a side for 15-20 min.

4.now make small balls out of the dough.

5.Make each ball like thin chepathi.

6.Now place 2 chepathis one on each other. In between those two put little ghee and rice flour and roll them.(like we roll a mat)

7.Cut the roll in to peices.

8.now press the roll again with appadala karra.

10.Fry them untill they turn golden colour.

11.Prepare suger syrup ( for testing take a drop of the syrup and take it on one finger and touch with other and try to open the top finger. if you get a single string out of it then syrup is done).

12.put the fried kaja in to the syrup directly.

13.Let the kaja absorb the syrup for a while.Remove it from sugar syrup and keep aside.

Hi bloggers, I found some time to write up another recipe this time it is spicy chicken fry.It is very nice to taste and simple to prepare. I have boneless chicken in the refrigerator so i am using it. Let us get into the making part of it.

Take a cooking vessel and pour oil and add Indian spices ( clove, bay leaf, cardamom, cinnamon) with green chillies.

Next add chopped onions and curry leaves

Fry for some time until it turns golden yellow. Now add ginger/garlic paste

After adding ginger garlic paste fry it until the raw smell goes away.

Now add chicken to the onions and add chilli powder,salt,turmeric and garammasala powder to it.

Mix all these and let it cook for 15mins under slow flame with lid closed.
0pen the lid and check if the chicken is cooked or not. If the chicken is cooked then add water based on how you want it to be. Add more water if u want it to be gravy.Today I prepared it as dry that's why i did not add water.

Cook this until the water goes.

Finally take this in to the serving bowl and garnish with the coriander.
